EDIT@freeboson's comment below is correct, this would overwrite the editions, that version works. Duplicated @freeboson's here, added some options to reduce output and parallelize the downloads, it was taking forever downloading sequentially. Also edited sed commands -r isn't available on Mac's sed

@chrisdecorte Which one? The one with "curl" in it assumes you are in a bash shell (bad idea), and the last one is a python script. You most likely would run these in *nix, but it's possible in Windopes, with a lot of effort.

Since the gist has been updated, the link in the scripts need to be changed to https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bishboria/8326b17bbd652f34566a/raw/0594f99c580c3befb924f3d36ab187c2da8f441b/springer-free-maths-books.md

and they have made it very easy to both browse by topic (math, architecture, computer science, nutrition), and type (book, article, etc.), and to filter for 'completely free'. Might be even easier to just search there for things you are interested in. It also does not seem to require any sort of login or signup to download the free publications.

Somehow I can't get requests to download files that can be opened (Python 2.7 on Windows). Did some slight modification that works for my computer (so far), and it includes renaming of the filename to the title given in the markdown file.

Neither of the scripts succeeded at my side (Mac) 😞
Moreover, I want only new editions, without previous ones.
So I've jotted down a script for my own needs. It is here.
Maybe it could be helpful to someone 😃
PS. bash, wget, awk, sed. And the end format is Title (Author).pdf.

These scripts are an inefficient way to download as they do it sequentially. One way to reduce the load on Springer and also download in parallel is to use Bittorrent sync (Hate the users of bittorrent, not the technology). I have all the files here and can make a folder with Bittorrent sync but am reluctant.

I'm not sure sharing this is a copyright violation. These books are provided free by Springer Link and carry the original copyright notices but it's not clear if we have the right to redistribute them.

@Unrepentant-Atheist, if you wait a bit, I'll modify my scripts to be able to download the files as well as list them. That's probably a better approach than trying to scrape the list I generated (which is really for people who can't run scripts...).

Alternatively if you can't get the shell scripts working and aren't too concerned with the filenames you can pop this into the web consoleArray.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.entry-content p a')).map(function(a) { a.download = 1; a.click() })

How do you filter for completely free -- but other than that -- this looks awesome. There's even a way to download a CSV of results!

You don't want all the books downloaded. You copy+paste your interested booknames into a text file and use
Google: "+site:springer.com Differential Topology, Morris W. Hirsch pdf download" is your search string.
Then you visit the page in question and check out what you know already.If you download full ebook its a waste of space time and bandwidth you are paying for bandwidth quota used. So download the byte-sized pdfs of what you intend to know. THese are going to be online for a while, so you just bookmark this page URL and return to it as time permits.

I tried again a few times with no luck. I also tried modifying the csv file (with a text editor); also no luck. I'm now trying jremmen's one line bash script with curl and wget - on Linux, Ubuntu 14.04. However, my knowledge of scripting, as well as of curl, wget etc are so limited I don't know how to restrict the downloads to start only at F. So currently it's downloading all the first items again.

I have a whole copy of this on Mega, getting the rest of free articles/books now too. However I'm not sure, if by giving the link here I wouldn't break the law or GitHub's terms. if you google for "wykop springer mirror" the first result should help enough to find it

Still, the biggest problem for me is that the csv I get as a search result is capped to 1k positions and I can't any way to limit my searches further.

I have downloaded all the graduate mathematics texts, I am willing to share, someone please send me a torrent link or download link of the Undergrad Mathematics texts and physics texts ... It would be very helpful.

uTorrent downloads can give lots of bad stuff -- maybe not malware the last couple of months, but still porn. Furthermore, downloading on Windows usually leads to a uTorrent app install, which cannot be uninstalled by normal Windows; you have to use something like Revo uninstaller to get rid of several Registry items.

I suggest not using any torrent downloads, but look for something on a site like mega.nz . However, Mega chokes on downloading large zip files in a browser, so you could be stuck with downloading hundreds of files.

@kugrjado could you please share it with me? xdiego.sg@gmail.com
Unfortuntately the mega link with all the math books doesn't work anymore for some reason, so I didn't finish downloading them all.
Did you take it down @kugrjado or was it shut down?

I asked Springer for an official statement on what happened. Here's what I got:

"During the holidays Springer performed some maintenance work on SpringerLink. To be confident that no customers would lose access to content during that time, we temporarily opened up access to a number of eBooks on SpringerLink. Normal access to eBook content has been reinstated."
